@johnfitzy, v1.2 worked fine for me, still see the normal scene. Probably need to check my firmware. David

@MrWolfy, I don’t use hik connect anymore. I think your DVR needs to be bound to your hik-connect account. David

as long as the connecters were terminated properly and tested for continuity / splits / crosses / losses, they should be ok. Did you do a full spec test of the cables? You have connectivity to all the cameras as they are working, bear in mind the cables could cause problems. Did you check the...

Did the d link cables have factory terminated rj45 connectors? Copper coated aluminium should be ok.

That is true but there seems to be a problem, reducing frame rate / video quality / video resolution should give you a usable setup. That'll give time to figure out what the problem is. Who did the install and were the ethernet cables locally or factory made? David

These days this is not a problem, with the right power pack and equipment you can easily provide power for the whole trading day. Maybe a couple of days. When I used to travel a lot my Lion power pack would easily run my wifi hotspot / phone / tablet. David

start off by reducing video quality / frame rate until the lag has gone. Do you know how much bandwidth is being used on your network? Before install, was any planning done to specify the network equipment / cameras / cabling? David

@davidmorris1956 Dave, What do other stall owners do? Have you any budget in mind? You cannot watch everything at the same time, distraction is a useful tool to the shop lifter. I'd use a system that recorded onto an sdcard in the camera. Give some thought to CCTV recording in a public space...

@kizzy9c Like an orchestra performs better with a conductor an IT network is better with a router. I think you'll regret not using one. I'm not sure what model Hikvision NVR you have. Is the NVR automatically adding the other cameras it sees on the network? If so you should be able to disable...

Steve, Good luck, I hope it is not too challenging!!! David

you may be able to use the existing coax cable as a pull through to get the ethernet cable through the wall / roof to the new camera. David

Do you have a router connected to the network? A hand drawn network diagram would help me understand your setup better. David

Is this a 4G LTE router? David

Are there any system logs on the camera or NAS you can check for errors? David

Progress indeed, did you enable NFS on the camera or NAS? David

the host pc seems to be under resourced for the vm, what do the host pc performance stats for memory / disc / cpu look like when the vm is running? Does the vm's bridged network connection assign a unique IPV4 address to the VM? David

@ThePCRunners Following on from my last post, what IP address is the VM using? David

Best to check which port numbers are in use. To make sure the NAS is accessible as a drive using win10 map the NAS as a network drive, then create a text file and save to the NAS camera folder / directory. Then make sure you can open / edit / save / delete the same text file. This link may...

What operating systems are you using for the VM? If you are using win10 / 11 can you map to the NAS drive using windows explorer? Check the port numbers of the SMB server and client are the same. David
